Coastal Endodontics

Coastal Endodontics is a dedicated endodontic practice committed to providing specialized dental care focused on saving natural teeth. With a strong emphasis on patient comfort, the clinic utilizes cutting-edge technology and techniques to ensure effective and pain-free treatments. Their services primarily revolve around endodontics, which involves the study and treatment of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. Key services offered include: Root Canals (Endodontic Therapy): This is their core service, aimed at alleviating dental pain and saving teeth by removing infected or inflamed pulp tissue. They use advanced techniques, including the GentleWave Procedure, for thorough cleaning of the Root Canal system. Root Canal Retreatment: For teeth that haven't healed properly or have developed new issues after an initial root canal, they perform retreatment to re-clean and seal the canals. Apicoectomy: A minor surgical procedure that targets the tip of the tooth's root to remove persistent infection and preserve the natural tooth. Treatment for Cracked Teeth: Addressing pain and sensitivity caused by cracked teeth. Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries: Including dislodged or fractured teeth. Coastal Endodontics prides itself on integrating advanced technology into its practice, such as: GentleWave Procedure: An innovative system for effectively cleaning the complex root canal system. 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): Provides highly accurate, 3D radiographic images for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, especially for hidden canals, cracks, and other abnormalities not visible with traditional X-rays. Zeiss Microscopes: Used for enhanced visualization during procedures, increasing precision and accuracy. Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA): A computer-controlled system for administering local anesthesia, aiming to provide a more comfortable experience without the widespread numbing of the lip and tongue. Digital X-rays: Reducing radiation exposure by approximately 50% compared to traditional radiographs and allowing for quick image retrieval and transfer. The clinic emphasizes a patient-first approach, striving to create a friendly and supportive environment. They are known for their experienced and often board-certified endodontists, who have undergone extensive specialized training beyond dental school. Patients often highlight the comforting and professional demeanor of the staff and doctors, along with the effectiveness of the treatments in relieving pain and saving teeth.
